How to create depth in your photography, understanding what depth is in photography is just as important
as using it, depth is the feeling of distance and separation from your subject.
Many of the best photographers in the world use one simple trick to add depth to their photos.
And by simple, I mean very simple.
They show us the ground.
Take this photo of a city skyline, for example.
You can add a lot more depth to this photo by simply taking the picture vertically and exposing the
ground.
The importance isn't in the camera rotation as much as it is and showing how far away you are from the
subject, the subject being the city.
The easiest way to do this is by showing the ground in your shot.
Here's another example of a great shot.
But here it is with far more depth because we've exposed the street below.
When you think about a printed photo, you typically think of it as two dimensional, meaning it has
an X and Y axis.
But the trick is to introduce a third axis, which is the Z axis, by positioning your shots to include
more depth.
